There were some big captures yesterday, too. Anyone have a running tally since the Marines reinforced the embassy?
Maybe the 750 82nd and the 4,000 troops sent to the region were a head fake to allow the Marines to go hunting for terrorist leadership fleeing the area after the killing of the Quud leader.
A two-for? Increase fast reaction forces in the area as a warning for potential retaliation and hunting of the terrorist leadership to decapitate the enemy and put the Iranian leadership in chaos/confusion.
